Virginia March for Life!

Email from Mike K:

Gents,

See below for all the info. you need to attend Wednesday’s Virginia Rally and March for Life. Please join us to witness to the dignity and sacredness of life, all so threatened now by the proposed constitutional amendment that would enshrine an unlimited abortion license in Virginia law, even for abortion tourism ( women traveling here from pro-life states to have an abortion). Bring your friends and families and be a voice for the most vulnerable among us.

Thanks for your prayerful consideration.

Fraternally,

Mike K.

206 Tours ( a national Catholic pilgrimage company)

Email from Mike K:

I have been working with 206 Tours (a national Catholic pilgrimage company) to promote one of their tours. Carol and I are registered and are planning to go. Hope the link below works, which will take you to a website with full information. If not, please let me know and I can send you the link separately.

https://www.206tours.com/cms/kozak

Full Disclosure: Carol and I would enjoy a trip incentive depending upon how many people sign-up under our website. Our group will be joining an existing 206 Tour. It is my understanding that the total number of pilgrims is limited to about 34 and I’m told this particular tour tends to sell out, but I was also told that probably won’t happen until next year or late 2026.

FYI, Carol and have been on a previous 206 Tour to Poland and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We are asking everyone to keep in mind that this is a spiritual pilgrimage, not your standard vacation. As you know, when things get out of order you just have to offer it up! Having said that, we thought 206 Tours was a first-class operation. Please let me know whether you have any interest. Also, please let me know if you have any questions.

Peace,

Mike K
